Help with install of coredroid rom & sense 3.0

First of all sorry if this is in the wrong section, tried to post in the section i was reading but stated i was not allowed due to me being a new member or something similar.
I have managed to root my sensation using revolutionary and have clockworkmod recovery v4.0.1.5 with orange and white writing.
I downloaded the zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195974 and placed into the sd card.
I went into recovery and chosen install zip from sdcard selected the zip file and everything went fine. However the phone booted up and just gives me a blank black screen while the 4 menu button lights are glowing. I press the power button and the lights go off.
What did i do wrong or have i bricked my device?

what you downloaded was a theme for the rom if you already have it installed.
boot back into recovery(power off voldown+power) factory reset, and flash this:

you should be fine. you should just have a soft brick something that is easily fixable with a new flash.

Redownload a rom. And flash through clockwork

which file of my mod u downloaded...? i have put return to stock file there also if u mess up.... for 2.3.4 only use 2.3.4 mods (specifically mentioned) not other files.....

Phones working again, I used the non 2.3.4 version as I'm running 2.3.3.

Isn't the recovery with the orange writing the one with the problem where it doesn't charge when the phone is off?
The recovery with the blue text is the fixed one.

I had that one at first..but then Rom Manager made me update it...I haven't experienced that issue with the Orange recovery I'm using. maybe because my phone is always on and I charge 3 batteries on external chargers and swap them out.
How can I get the blue one back?

Snipes yeah ROM manager updated mine. Haven't had any problems with the charging though which one hasn't got the problems the orange or blue one.

Yeh it wont give you problems till your battery dies then the the recovery with the orange writing SUPPOSEDLY doesnt charge, for some poeple
to flash the blue one again, folow step 2 again in the sensation guide!

OP Make sure you wipe all data and cache before reflashing the correct ROM

+1 he is right!. Full wipe DUDE!

[Q] Getting the right version of CWM Recovery

So I want to make sure I have the right version of CWM. I have followed the guide for rooting/installing CWM to a T and have installed the recommended version of CWM (4.0.1.4), but I read that it should be orange.
I see everything in blue (and purple at some viewing angles), so do I have the right version? I just downloaded it again from the stick and installed from HBOOT just to make sure and it did not change to orange...
Thanks!

Install the rom manager from the market and update recovery through that.

So now I have 4.0.1.5, but I thought that one had problems? While in recovery and with the phone plugged in I have no charging LED lit up.
I'm confused as the things I have read so far seem to contradict one another.

That's because Mo0oSaH told you to do the wrong thing! Installing through rom manager installs the 4.0.1.5 recovery (the one with the orange writing) which is the one with charging issues. You need the version of 4.0.1.4 with the blue writing and revolutionary written across the bottom (tip: its the one you had originally and can be found in the sticky in the Dev forum HERE).

This is not true for everyone. Plenty of people, myself included, have the .5 version FROM Rom Manager and have found it to work properly!
I actually found that the other, .4 version, DOESNT work properly. It charges, but fails to light the LED AND wont boot unless I pull the battery first.
Before you switch versions, try it out! You may find that it works fine. If not, then switch. Either one or the other should work.

Recovery Charging Issue
Clockwork recovery v4.0.1.4 with the purple writing suplied by revolutionary and 4.1.0.5 from rom manager both have an issue with charging. Your phone will not charge if you turn it off.
So if you flashed it via revolutionary.exe or in post one before i before i uploaded the new updated one.
Post one is now updated with the new clockwork recovery 4.0.1.4 with the blue writing that does not have charging issues.
Just follow Step 2 above to flash the new clockwork Recovery v4.0.1.4 and this will fix your charging issues.
the new recovery is orange while the old one was purple

This is what I read on the sticky. Maybe it's a mistake by the OP. 4.0.1.4 seems to have blue/purple writing. This is the one that I had (and now have again). But at the bottom of the post it says that the new one is orange.
Mistake? Or am I missing something here?

Even though I just got thread-jacked, here is what I did.
Go to the thread for your ROM. Look for an add-on for TMOUS users that replaces the "H" with a 4G icon. It might be that your ROM does not have such an add-on, but I know that InsertCoin does because I installed it.

rom manager

I installed ROM manager on my phone and when I tried to back up my ROM, it said I need to flash clockworkrecovery. I thought I already did that, when i rooted my phone and flashed revolutionaryHD 3.0 ... Will I screw things up if I click "ok" when manager prompts me to?

I would just flash CWM again through ROM Manager. That samething happened to me on my NS.

It says that because alpharev recovery it's a different version of recovery. If you want to use rom manager you need to flash the one that it wants. And don't worry, I'm using it and it works

thats what i had to do

The version rom manager will flash has the charging bug. Just boot into recovery and back up from there. Not that hard

Omg I flashed it before I read your comment about the bug... Guess I need to reflash the working one back.

I wouldn't worry about the bug... I'm using that version and I have no problems, I also know people who flashed the "bugless" cwm, and they experienced the charging issue.... Its a case by case scenario, see what works for you... Just make sure you keep your battery from completely dying and monitor charging....

[Q] Connecting to AC charger while the phone is OFF boots into CWM recovery

so the phone works fine but i cannot charge with it off as regardless or rom while it is off if i plug the charger in it boots into recovery mode. IF my battery was to completely drain i would'nt be able to charge it with out a standalone battery charger
due to this fact i'm looking for solutions to the actual problem not someone to say don't let it die. it probably never will as i would just switch it off but still i'd like to be able to turn my phone off and charge it if i wanted to
Has anyone else experienced this or heard about this and have actual useful info, i don't need to be told flash a new rom etc i'm always flashing roms. It's not an urgent issue i'd just like to know seeing as i seem to be one of the only people experiencing this

I think you have an old recovery that doesn't allow charging.
Update to latest 4EXT.

Then you stay with your problem.
Yes, obviously it's a recovery problem. Recovery that supports charging was done starting CWM 5.0.0.6 (hack) and 5.0.0.8 or so (official). The latest CWM should support charging too. Personally, I fail to see even one smallest reason not to upgrade recovery.

i had the latest cwm touch and couldn't charge, 4ext is alot better though, the free version has nearly every rom manager premium feature i'd switch if i was you, well i did switch lol

Okay, thanks. I'm not changing ROM often so I guess I can stay with CWM. The only prob that I have is that it boot to recovery while charging (when off) but I also doesn't shut down my phone when charging, so it doesn't matter that much.

You would certainly see multiple benefits from upgrading to 4 ext recovery, especially writhe touch version....even the free version although would recommend that you buy the paid version to support the quality developer

Ive been rooted and have been flashing different mods to tests them out to find whats best for me... Now Im stuck without a working phone. The only thing that I have done different since I last flashed a Rom was Do a factory reset with the PG58diag file to SIM Unlock. Phone worked fine when I restated and restored my backup... Thats when I decided to try the ARHD 667xe Rom. it Installed complete but never rebooted after that. Battery was at about 38% when I flashed. PLEASE HELP

Do you have access to the bootloader or the recovery?
Do you see the LED when charging the phone?

That is a Negative to both Q's!...
I notice my computer locates it but will not load drivers nor charge,... device manager shows it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" device.
Thats all I got so far!
Thx for REplying

Hi,
Try posting HERE

Happen to have finally found that post searching all dayand looking thru it now, but thank you for being there. let you know how it works out for me. thx again

Ive been trying the unbrick method all day with diff linux systems, on 1st script I get..."The bricked device is on" ...Use the above node to perform operations using the emmc_recover tool". with NO feedback....
1.Would flashing the ARHD6 XE on my Tmobile Sensation 4g be the cause of the brick?
2. Would I have to us the Sensation XE package to unbrick instead of Sensation 4g if that were the case.
unbrick guide is Great, just need to know where I may be going wrong!
thx

One possible reason is your battery you mention that youre battery was 38% charged when you flashed. It may haved dropped during flashing and you might didnt notice the flash method did not finish properly.
Lesson here is do not flash rom if youre battery is lower than 50% coz you wouldnt know what will happen. For safe flashing make sure you are fully charged.
Hope you recover phone coz it looks like it will be recovered using the method posted by malybru.
